4 Years Later: Rush Limbaugh’s Final Rendition of the True Story of Thanksgiving (VIDEO)
The late conservative radio legend Rush Limbaugh delivered his final annual rendition of the true story of Thanksgiving in November 2020. Thanksgiving 2024 marks the fourth year that Americans go without his beloved tradition, but many are still keeping the tradition alive, ensuring that the youngest generations know what actually happened and what Thanksgiving is truly a celebration of.
Limbaugh delivered his final rendition November 24, 2020, and during that — when he was in the midst of battling advanced-stage lung cancer — he noted that the “True Story of Thanksgiving” is spreading.
“And I couldn’t be happier about that. Bottom line: It is spreading. I’m just gonna cut to the chase here before getting into reading the text. The Real Story of Thanksgiving, going back to the very first early days of the Pilgrims arriving at Plymouth Rock, is that socialism failed,” Limbaugh said, setting the scene of the arduous conditions the Pilgrims faced after landing in the New World, as documented by William Bradford.
Limbaugh reminded his millions of listeners that their first winter was harsh and unforgiving, and half of them died of “starvation, of sickness, exposure to the elements.”
“Now we’re getting close to what you were taught in school. When spring finally came — and, by the way, writing that doesn’t do it justice. Spring didn’t just finally come. It was a survival. It was an act of survival that you and I cannot possibly relate to or understand,” he explained.
